Shown above is a detailed portion of "Know" by Leigh Pawling and Richard AstonOctober First Friday will be a celebration of the collaboration Artist for Art and The Mulberry Poet, Writers Association.  Twelve Artists an twelve writers were paired at random and asked to be completely open to the imaginative process that arises during collaboration.  I was paired with Richard Aston - an accomplished poet who works with words and letters in a visual manner.  We met several times and settled on working together on a 'visual poem' called KNOW.  The collaboration resulted in a colorful, dimensional, frenetic,  transition from his original version.

"A Dozen Assorted" will be on exhibition through October 30th.  An opening reception will be held on Friday, October 1st from 6-9.  There will be a second reception and reading on Friday, October 15th at 7PM at the AFA Gallery 514 Lackawanna Avenue, Scranton, Pa.
